The following article focuses on two groups of people in Slovenia who were forcibly separated from their parents and had their childhood stolen from them by two different ideologies. The first group consists of the victims of the German occupiers, while the second one involves the post-war retaliation of the victorious side. The contribution at hand sheds light on the consequences of these acts of violence and the lives of the children affected by them after the separation from their parents while presenting their efforts to regulate their legal status. In this context, it reveals the individual stories/memories of stolen and forgotten children. Their legal status was finally regulated in the independent state of Slovenia.
